As an enthusiastic Carlingford Dundas Lions Club member, I am one of the thousands of volunteers supporting Amar Singh and his Turbans 4 Australia charity. We must universally applaud his stance as he reaches out to ethnic minorities, challenging them to be involved in the Voice debate. (Turbans touring for Yes, 1/8). After all, if a “treaty” follows and reparations are determined, we should ask why recently arrived tax paying migrants should owe a fiscal or social liability due to past grievances to Indigenous Australians. Sometimes, they are victims themselves of repression in the countries from which they are fleeing. Already, many also ask why modern Australians should be responsible for events long ago. It is not right to clump all “non-Indigenous” Australians together, since many have been part of progressive migration, arriving after historical grievances. Similarly, Irish convicts, a majority in the First Fleet, were hardly in control nor a willing party to any imperial “invasion”. They were dispossessed of homeland and as surely victims of the Crown as any nomadic Indigenous camped around the settlements of the Sydney colony. The No case is surely boosted by Amar Singh’s welcome involvement. Alan Sexton, Parramatta. 2Aug2023.
